When we
released the first iteration of this decal set back in 2004, below is a redacted
version of the introduction. Since then we have resized the decal elements to
fit the new Hobby Boss Su-27 kits, added a couple of new decal options to the
set (which were applied to the 9th GvIAP's Flankers after 2004), and included a
bonus Crimea-based RusAF Su-27P in the new 2015 'Belbek' scheme.

Take a look
at the photograph above. It was taken at Kilpyavr Air Base in the Russian arctic during
the brief summer months. It portrays a seemingly innocuous line of Su-27s. What
secrets do these Flankers hold, so far from Moscow? All is revealed in "The
Guardians of the North". Our incredible new sheet features a number of
Su-27s from the Russian Air Force's historic northern fighter regiments, each
featuring special marking schemes never before seen in public outside the
airbases concerned.

We are
indebted to our friends in the VVS for their invaluable help in allowing us to
bring you these unique Su-27s in decal form. The instructions feature
not only full color profiles, but also unique photographic references of
these rare and secretive birds in their boreal habitats. Full technical
stenciling is available separately from us, taken directly from VVS
manuals at the Kilpyavr maintenance section.
